A seasoned stock market professional who engages in frequent trading.
Core Belief
"The market is driven by the collective psychology of its participants, and success lies in understanding and anticipating these mental shifts."
Worldview
The world is a complex game of speculation, where fortunes are made and lost based on the ability to outwit the crowd.
Personality
Skeptical, alert, and analytical, this trader is constantly assessing the mental state of other market participants. He relies on experience and observation to anticipate price movements.
In Their Own Words
"Just covered my Steel. Too much company. Everybody seems to be short."
"Yes, that’s what they all say—and they’ve all sold short again because they think everybody else has covered."
"I believe there’s just as much short interest now as there was before."
